The UNITE SCHOOL OF NEUROONCOLOGY fosters advances in neurooncology through innovative research and concerted education and mentoring. The aim is to promote young (physician-) scientists and boost synergies between basic, translational and clinical research in neurooncology. UNITE will promote 16 Post Docs and 12 PhD candidates. Scientists and physician-scientists will pursue a 3-4-year interdisciplinary research project, which will be supervised by UNITE PIs. The collaboration between all relevant disciplines – neurooncology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, neuroradiology, pediatric neurooncology and radiation oncology - will ensure an excellent enviroment for excellent education.
